Hello All, I have read that the TCP protocol in Linux maintains 2 hash tables, i. TCP_BOUND_HASH ii. TCP_LISTENING_HASH is it true? If yes, I have read that the one TCP_LISTENING_HASH table contains the pointer to the SOCK data structure which is that of the listening socket. The SOCK data structure is linked to the TCP_LISTENING_HASH table during the Listen system call. Can any one please tell me why is TCP_BOUND_HASH table used, and what it will be pointing to and when is it intialized? I request you to please reply as soon as possible. -Thanks, Syed Khaleelulla. ------------------ *************************************************************************** Syed Khaleelulla, 26, Hosur Main Road, Bommanhalli, Software Engineer, Bangalore - 560068, India.
